Abstract
The device cleans and disinfects sponges. The device has a tub with a cavity of sufficient space to hold paddles for wringing a sponge, a cartridge for holding a slow-dissolving disinfectant, and a sponge. The cavity is filled with a disinfectant solution. The device can be mounted on the inside wall of a sink or cabinet with an included bracket or can be stood in a base on a countertop. The device includes a warning light programmed to remind the user when to change the slow-dissolving disinfectant. The user inserts a sponge between the paddles, inserts the paddles into the cavity, and squeezes the paddles together. The user then releases the paddles, causing the sponge to absorb the disinfectant solution. When the user removes the paddles, specially-designed fluid channels quickly drain the sponge.
